MARTINS FERRY.

The Presbyterian choir concert on
Wednesday evening was success in every
particular Despite the unusually warm
weather, the church WAS filled To suiloca-
tion, and the immense audience apparent
ly enjoyed every number of the eNcep-
tiOnally long programme. The choruses
were very well rendered and drew forth
liberal applause, all the members of
the choir appearing well qualified
for their work. Miss Mary Mckim APP
pcarcd to her usual good advantage III
I'll Bacio," and acquitted herself very
creditably, her effort being the most
praiseworthy of all. Miss May Griffith
displayed ability which surprised
even her friends i'll her song,
1.-The Valley of Chamouni," and
demonstrated that she is one Of Mar,iu's
Ferry * rising young yOcilists. William
| Mann \ sweet, rich, tenor voice needs no
praise, and our meaning cannot he mis-
taken when We say he rendered his English
ballad, Thorn Bowling" with his usual
good grace and ability. Prof. la Roche
was placed at n decided disadvantage in his
violin solo, by the breaking of string at
critical moment. His effort, however, was
nate occurrence.
The Flower Girl" by Miss Blanche
Medill, was well received, and gave her
an opportunity to display the power and
excellent control she has over her very
sweet soprano voice.
Miss Bee ThOmas piano solo, T.a Reine
Des Fees" WAS probably better received
and more thoroughly appreciated by the
audience than any other number on the
programme. Her rendition was good, and
the tones were very pleasing Those who
sang in the quartettes, all did well,
and demonstrated that We have
much good vocal material in our city. Mr..
j. G. May, the able conductor of the CON
cert, deserves much praise for the manner
in which he did his part, the success of the
entire affair depending very much upon his
efforts, not only in the concert, but during
the reheaIsals.
